#liveusb — Public Fediverse posts

#GigaByte AERO X16 2WH (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M + NVIDIA RTX 5070) has its HDMI port wired differently compared to my old #Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Gaming 15IHU6 (Intel i5-11300H/Iris Xe Graphics + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile) which makes me understand why #HybridGraphics laptops have a fame as being complicated. Simply getting #LinuxMint #LiveUSB to boot I need to either download #HWE ISO (easy option), boot with nomodeset or temporarily set Switchable Graphics Device value as Discrete.

#BashCoreGee joins the BashCore family 😀

A new entry-level live system built on Debian with the GNOME desktop, designed for instant internet access and simplicity. It boots straight to the desktop with Firefox and Tor Browser ready to use, and you can install more apps easily via GNOME Software.

Minimal, fast, and ready to explore 😀

🤟🏻 Built a full #sdcard.img for #RaspberryPi in 28 minutes with #Buildroot using BuildLab, my new portable live OS booted via #Ventoy.

1800 packages, XFCE, QEMU, libvirt, full toolchain, debug + network stack.

#BuildLab isn’t a system to use, it’s a system to build systems. A clean, reproducible embedded lab always in my pocket 👊🏻

​I genuinely believe that everyone needs a BashLab OS USB stick in their pocket.

​It's not just a Linux distro; it's a portable digital self-defense tool.

In a world full of tracking & compromised devices, booting into a clean, non-persistent environment with Tor, Mullvad, Proxychains, and macchanger offers instant, high-level privacy.

​Own your digital space. Be prepared.

BashCore live USB on two laptops:
🖥️ Acer Aspire One (2009): 131MB RAM used
💻 HP 250 (2022): 251MB RAM used

Same ISO, same boot mode.
But newer hardware loads extra services.

BashCore adapts to what it finds: minimal where needed, responsive where possible.

Kali Live USB can’t mount my internal disk.
Bad fs type? Missing helper?
It’s 2025. This is basic stuff.

BashCoreX mounts it clean. Silent. Instant.

Ernüchternd: ich habe gerade 1,5 Stunden lang versucht, wie ich "schnell" mal eine aktuelle #Linux Distribution per #LiveUSB ausprobieren kann.

Fazit: 3x mit #Unetbootin für #ubuntu und #fedora einen USB-Stick formatiert. Thinkpad bootet nicht vom Stick sondern fällt immer wieder ins #Windows rein. Auch mit F12 und dem ausgewählten USB-Stick gings nicht. Liegt bestimmt am #Thinkpad. Aber was muss ich anders machen?

Das ging vor 10-12 Jahren out of the box.

BashCore live USB = instant home server (VPS style) 💡
Boot → LAN → SSH → VPN in minutes.

Steps:
1️⃣ Boot BashCore live
2️⃣ Connect to LAN
3️⃣ sudo apt install openssh-server
4️⃣ From another PC: SSH into the server
5️⃣ Add route:

sudo ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.1 dev enp0s3
# LAN subnet - router IP - server interface

6️⃣ Install NordVPN with token & allow LAN visibility

Done. Private server, full control.

Tried running BashCore live USB on an old Acer Aspire One D160 (2009) as a minimal home server (VPS-style).
Everything worked… until the Atheros Wi-Fi chip (ath9k) crashed the system in a loop.
Not BashCore’s fault — just unreliable legacy hardware.
Blacklisting the driver solved it. 👊

BashCore proves itself again:
💡 Lightweight
⚙️ Transparent
💻 Runs even on decade-old machines.

🧪 Sandboxed VPS with BashCore live USB: sounds fake, but it's real:
– Boots from USB
– No install, no trace
– SSH in from any OS
– Full BashCore Linux toolset
– Works on ancient hardware
– No telemetry
– Clean wipe on reboot
– Feels like a private lab
– Use it as a remote shell
– Your own local cloud
– No VM, no spyware
– Pure command-line freedom

Booted BashCoreX live on my MSI i7 Katana from a 32GB USB stick using Ventoy (with other ISOs on it).
Still got 15.1 GB of usable space on the live system 😳

Running with 16 cores, OS using less than 1GB of RAM.
It’s fast, clean, and lightweight. I'm honestly impressed.

Minimalist OS, max efficiency. 💪

In addition to the AROS distribution "AROS One" for x86 computers, which is available as a DVD ISO file or USB flash ("VHD") image, there is now a separate portable version for USB sticks, which contains AROS ONE 2.8 (32-bit) and can be run directly from it.

#EliveLinux #LiveUSB #GNU #Linux #portable

#Mastodon, j'ai un souci, et j'aurais bien besoin d'aide.
Je veux installer une #Kubuntu fraîche sur un ordi qui n'a pas été mis à jour depuis la version 18.04 (oui, ça fait longtemps).
Cet ordi, un #Asus N752vx-gc195T, tourne actuellement avec un dual-boot Kubuntu-Windows.

J'ai fait un #liveCD et une #liveUSB pour mon #install mais les deux, après un passage par l'écran #Grub, ne me proposent qu'un écran noir.

J'ai modifié tous les paramètres de la clé et du bios (MBR, EFI etc.). Désactivé le secure boot. Ajouté les paramètres nomodeset, acpi=off lors du lancement de Grub. Essayé la version 22.04
Rien.
La seule chose que j'aie, c'est un écran un peu plus verbeux lorsque je remplace "quiet" par "verbose", mais qui plante en quelques poignées de secondes et me laisse comme sur la photo ci-dessous.

Je ne sais plus quoi faire. #help

#linux #ubuntu

Testing on #BashLab continues—so far, just #failures 😅

Had to switch to a 128GB USB stick since 32GB wasn’t enough. Still using the 32GB for basic tests, but once everything is set, I’ll move to the 128GB 💪

BashCore is so lightweight and fast that it runs smoothly even on a simple USB 2.0 drive. Perfect for reviving old PCs and working anywhere with maximum portability.

Among the ones I tried: Artix, BlissOS, Bodhi, BookwormPup64, Bunsenlabs Boron, CrunchBang++, Chimera Linux, Damn Small Linux, InstantOS, KNOPPIX.

These all didn't work for one reason or another.

I am also pending to try: Mabox, MX Linux, Nitrux NX, PorteuX, Q4OS, Solus, Ubuntu Unity.

All of these have something unique about them that makes them interesting to run in a live environment, and I recommend you do too!

#gnu #linux #liveusb #distribution

Looking at #lightweight #Linux distros and window managers. I already know I like #CrunchBang and its standard #OpenBox from when I last daily-drove Linux, So #CrunchBangPlusPlus and #BunsenLabs are obvious first picks, and have already made it onto my #Easy2Boot / #Ventoy #LiveUSB, but I've also peeked at #Nobara and decided to try it on for size as well.

Looking at a few other window managers, I was pretty impressed by #AwesomeWM and have also heard good things about #FluxBox.

All will suit my needs more or less equally (and any can be modified or switched), each just have unique flavors, quirks, and footprints.

@FlashMobOfOne I'll do you one better. I'm uninstalling #Windows wholesale, because I have finally lost interest in harboring corpo malware/gov #spyware on my devices intentionally anymore, which doesn't seem to offer any valid advantage itself over other systems anyway.

#windowsupdate, #msstore, #msdefender, search app, #edgebrowser, shell-embedded ads, nonstop logging and telemetry, things just refusing to function reasonably because Windows knows that it's a day that ends in "Y" -- Windows ceaselessly masturbating itself in various elaborate ways finally ran out my last iota of sanity.

In my assessment, the point of me having my computer was for me to use it, not just to have it sit there wasting time touching itself — and galavanting in the background with my system resources as if it had worse ADHD than me while I seethe and reach for the #ProcessHacker on my taskbar that I've kept perpetually open with Admin rights for most of the last decade (along with #ResMon and #TaskMgr; in order to combat Windows' defensive strategy of gaslighting the user about what it is or isn't doing) — instead of actually doing what I tell it to.

Anyway, enough about bad operating systems. Anybody happen to feel any particular preference between #CrunchBangPlusPlus (#!++) and #BunsenLabs #Debian? Haven't decided yet which I'm settling on (I have them both loaded on a #liveusb using #Easy2Boot / #Ventoy), but I was a daily driver of og #CrunchBangLinux back in the day.

Как я пришёл к пониманию основ создания Live-дистрибутивов Linux, решив починить свой старый SSD

Был у меня старенький SSD объёмом 240 Гбайт от Kingston, который внезапно перестал работать, вообще перестал распознаваться в системе. Попробовал я подключить SSD к другому компьютеру, попробовал использовать как внешний диск, ничего не дало результата. Поэтому я купил новый, а этот разобрал. Внешних признаков, указывающих на то, что SSD сгорел, я не заметил, а интуиция говорила: «Проблема программная». Выбрасывать диск не хотелось, поэтому он остался пылиться до «лучших» времён. И вот недавно захотелось попробовать его починить. К своему удивлению, я достаточно быстро нашёл необходимую статью на Хабре , где рассказывалось, как можно оживить SSD на том же контроллере, что и мой, отдельную тему на форуме Ru-Board , а также статью с подробной инструкцией , по ней я и восстановил свой SSD. Но кроме восстановленного SSD я еще приобрёл и закрепил знания по Linux, которые изложил в этой статье. Всем, кому интересно, добро пожаловать под кат.

Экспресс диагностика ПК/ноутбуков без необходимости установки драйверов

Речь пойдет о x86 ПК/ноутбуках/моноблоках. О том как проверить функционирование различных подсистем ноутбука: дисплей, клавиатуру, тачпад, USB порты, сетевые карты Ethernet и WiFi, встроенные динамики, WEB-камеру, микрофон. Проверить показатели состояния АКБ, показатели S.M.A.R.T. HDD и SSD, в том числе NVMe. Проверить температуру и стабильность работы CPU и GPU под нагрузкой.
